Even worse, I am only getting 2-3 hours ofsleep per night. During the first two weeks, I slept great, in fact I remember feeling drowsy all day and very ready for bed at night. Well, now I cannot sleep at all! I have tried swiching the time I take the sjw from eveing to morning with no change in my sleep patterns atall! I guess I will try another brand as I hate to give up on sjw after just tryingone brand. This is all very difficult on me and my family....but then so is trying to live day to day without the help of anything!!! Has anyone else out there experienced anything like this??? All I read is how SJW is supposed to help with sleep disorders...not create them!!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks JewelsK

I've never had a problem sleeping and now I am. Maybe a brand change? Thanks, TK

Like yourself, during the first few weeks, I experienced sleep disturbance combined with vivid dreaming. I tried alternating the times of dosage but to no avail. For the last month, I have been taking a Kava Kava supplement(piper methysticum) one in the morning and one in the evening. Within a week of taking the supplement, I was getting to sleep quickly and sleeping through the night. TRY IT!

I have only been taking sjw for three days, but yesterday switched as suggested on these pages to a night dose and got to study the entire night in eticulous detail. Very boring. I have skipped the doses today altogether and will try starting again as befopre tomorrow. So far there seems to be a little lightening of mood, but nothing spectacular, mainly I just feel a little stoned... Nick.

Did you experience insomnia before SJW? Do you drink coffee? I will not sleep if I have any caffeine in the afternoon or at night. Sugar at night will cause problems for me too. During the Christmas party time I found that sweets about made me bonkers esp. in the evening. I think insomnia is a vicious cycle so you somehow have to break that cycle. I would not recommend sleeping pills or tranquilizers. I did that and just prolonged the problem. Make sure you are not out running around at night. Don't get overly stimulated and do financial things at night. Try some Kava Kava or passion flower at night.

And this comment is coming from a guy who really, really likes his sleep! hehe I do believe that I sleep more than I used to and wonder to what extent the SJW may be helping with that, but anyway... It sounds like you are doing the right things in terms of varying the time of day that you take it so I am not sure what to suggest. Maybe if you spread it throughout the day? I have no idea if this will help. The other question is how do you feel about yourself when you go to bed? Are you finding the SJW to be effective otherwise or *almost* effective? I wish I had more suggestions to offer.
